Question

LLlime Inc. is considering a new product launch. The project will cost $2,000,000 have a ten-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 30,000 units per year; price per unit will be $150, variable costs per unit will be $80 and fixed costs will be $600,000 per year. The required return on the project is 15 percent, and tax rate = 0% (i.e., ignore taxes). a. What is the accounting break-even level of output for this project? b. Find the firm's operating cash flow (OCF) if the firm just breaks-even on an accounting basis (that is, at Q = accounting break-even level). c. How many units, at a minimum, must LLlime sell before the project's OCF becomes negative? d. How many units, at a minimum, must LLlime sell before the project's NPV becomes negative? e. What if the marketing department of LLlime reports the annual expected sales of 13,000 units. Shall LLlime accept this project? Why? Calculate NPV and IRR at this sales level of 13,000 units.

Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $3,200,000 investment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The company's discount rate is 12%. The project would provide net operating income in each of the five years as follows: Sales: $2,735,000 Variable Expenses: $1,400,000 Contribution Margin: $1,335,000 Fixed Expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs: $235,000 Depreciation: $800,000 Total Fixed Expenses: $1,035,000 Net Operating Income: $300,000 Required: 1. What is the present value of the project's annual net cash inflows? 2. What is the project's net present value? 3. What is the project profitability index for this project? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Describe how a Manager would utilize the Profitability Index? 4. What is the project's internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent? 5. What is the project's payback period in years (round to three decimal places)? 6. What is the project's simple rate of return for each of the five years (round your answer to three decimal places)? 7. If the company's discount rate was 15% instead of 12%, calculate the answers to questions 2 through 5 (NPV, PI, IRR and Payback). Is each it higher, lower or same (please comment on each and why)? 8. Using the original data, if the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years recalculate #2 (NPV), #3 (Profitability Index) and #6 (Simple Rate of Return).

00:01 Let us make this in a tabular form.
00:03 This what we have.
00:05 Projected annual cash net flows.
00:14 We have the net operating income that is equal to $405 ,000.
00:29 Then we have depreciation that we need to add.
00:36 So this is plus $595 ,000.
00:41 Together this becomes $1 ,000 or $1 ,000 ,000...
